The location is excellent, the vibe of the hotel is very cool and the rooms are great!
Good place to stay in Tempe wth excellent access to ASU and Grady Gammage Auditorium. Rooms have unique "retro" features. Staff is very friendly and helpful and Tapicubo is next door. The weak spot is The Normal diner which has breakfast but is not great.
Really nice and cute hotel! Beds were comfy and rooms were clean. Lighting is pretty bad in the bathroom and room if you're trying to do makeup which was unfortunate. And the free wifi is awful! I had work I needed to be doing and was annoyed that you had to pay for faster internet. But overall we had a great experience
The Graduate Tempe is a fairly-priced, high-style place to stay in Tempe, Arizona. The bed was lovely and comfortable and well made up.
Loved everything about this hotel. The staff was friendly and nice, the décor was entertaining, the beds and view were all incredible and I believe the towels were softer than the ones I have at home!
It was ok staff was not friendly or informative you were on your own all went decent till I checked out and went to my next destination and looked in my suitcase only to find some Clothing items missing called the hotel and they are investigating yet to here from them it ruins the whole stay, never again!!
Loved the hotel, would definitely stay again. The staff were so welcoming and friendly, the hotel is very clean and loved the old-school decor. Breakfast at the Normal Diner was delicious!!!
This place did not have me listed with everything I had on my online reservation. Paid for late checkout and checked with staff 3 times to make sure I didn't get charged. Next day I had a manager knocking at the door telling me that I was going to be charged another night because I was still in the room. I showed him receipt of my online payment for the late checkout since I booked the room and he was confused. In not staying here again. It's not my job to make my own stay at the hotel go smoothly that's why I pay and they should take care of the rest.
I enjoyed my stay at the Graduate. The air conditioner was sub-par, but luckily it wasn't very hot when I stayed there. The daytime staff was quite friendly and accommodating, the even let me check in a couple of hours early without a problem; I can't say the same for the overnight staff. The elevator was annoyingly slow.
Very nice boutique style hotel extremely close to All that the ASU campus has to offer!
The hotel was very accommodating to all of our needs!
I was in town for a conference and I stayed at this hotel, which I truly enjoyed my overall stay.
The Graduate is the only choice for me when I visit my son at ASU. The location is perfect...right across the street from his dorm, the property is awesome, and the staff is the best! I just got back from my 4th stay with them, and already can't wait for the next time!
Very cute and clean hotel rooms. The only thing is that parking is not free.
Pleasant Staff! Liked the diner. Short walk to Mill Street!
Very cute and clean hotel rooms. The only thing is that parking is not free. Parking fee is 6 dollars.
The decor is cool, the staff a little too low key, the space was very party oriented which makes sense being close to ASU. Public spaces weren't super clean and someone urinated in the elevated.
Hotel is extensively redone in a sixties style. Great place for breakfasts and bar at night has a limited menu. Staff was wonderful.
Am always pleased with the room and the staff when I stay

Dear Romz, We are glad that you enjoyed are nicely decorated hotel and hotel rooms! The style is very Arizonan and almost makes you forget out the blistering heat in the summer. We are also glad that you enjoyed the nice vibe of the hotel! We look forward to having you stay with us again.
